CHEM 2400, 2410 - Organic Chemistry I, II

Course guide for Organic Chemistry I/Lab (CHEM 2400) and Organic Chemistry II/Lab (CHEM 2410)

Organic Chemistry
CHEM 2400, CHEM 2410
Fall 2024

This course and the related lab is the first part of a two-semester sequence that studies the chemistry of carbon compounds, including their structure, nomenclature, preparation, reactions, analysis, spectroscopy, and properties. Reaction mechanisms are stressed within a functional group framework. The laboratory session introduces basic laboratory techniques frequently utilized in organic syntheses.
This course and the related lab is the second part of a two-semester sequence that studies the chemistry of heteroatom-containing carbon compounds, including their structure, nomenclature, preparation, reactions, analysis, and properties. Reaction mechanisms within a functional group framework are stressed. Stability, nucleophilicity and electrophilicity, and structurereactivity relationships will also be examined. The laboratory session practices basic organic syntheses.
Required Textbooks:
Recommended Textbooks:
  • Apply the rules of organic nomenclature, including the ability to name organic compounds and draw correct structures from names.
  • Describe chemical structures and relate them to physical properties of organic compounds.
  • Correlate molecular structure and spectroscopic behavior.
  • Describe and apply fundamental reactivity concepts such as acidity, basicity, electrophilicity, nucleophilicity, electron delocalization and rules of resonance.
  • Describe the mechanisms and outcomes of addition, substitution and elimination reactions of simple organic compounds.
  • Describe and perform basic organic laboratory techniques.
  • Recognize major functional groups and name organic compounds containing these functional groups.
  • Understand and apply the basic rules of reactivity, nucleophilicity and electrophilicity to organic compounds.
  • Describe simple resonance schemes and their importance to stability and reactivity of organic molecules.
  • Demonstrate mastery of simple organic reaction mechanisms.
  • Recognize functional groups in biochemical compounds and their chemistry.
  • Apply basic organic laboratory techniques to synthesize, purify and broadly characterize simple organic compounds.
